Jack Price is possibly my favorite young (ish) skier in Montana. He's got style and enough guts to throw things my friends wouldn't even consider doing. Jack was kind enough to give a blurb about him, send over some pictures, and drop his season edit on NS. He's proof that Big Sky country has...

It may have been cold and rainy, but Level 1 brought the heat last night. With a packed lobby, athletes held an autograph session, keeping people out of the storm. This provided the opportunity for locals to meet their skiing idols. Bozeman certainly knows how to party, and nothing is as rowdy...
